I simply do not see adding a heavier weight class. What I see as a possibility eventually is bumping 215 up to 220 or even 225. I know that there has been a little discussion on that, especially considering the fact that 275 was bumped 10 last season. There are not a lot of great athletes in the 225-285 pound range that have what it takes to stick with a wrestling program over the long haul. Don't get me wrong, there are some outstanding athletes there, simply not a lot of them, compared to the 135-171 areas, in my honest opinion. The national federation did some extensive surveying and research on this toic several years ago. Those heavier classes are already hard to fill. Please read my post on beating dead horses...
